Friends, if the climate news has you despairing, I suggest searching the terms 'solarpunk', 'creation care', and 'rewilding' alongside obvious ones like 'sustainability' and 'climate resilience'. We have the solutions we need and there are lots of communities working on them!

As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew.

Your regular reminder that there ISN’T a “war on cars.” Any objective observation in most cities however, would conclude that for 60+ years there’s been a war on every mobility choice EXCEPT cars. And that’s been bad for EVERYONE, including drivers. Poster via @urbantruth.bsky.social. #UrbanTruth
